Understanding National Savings Certificate (NSC)

What is NSC?

NSC is a fixed-income investment scheme offered by post offices. It provides guaranteed returns backed by the Government of India with a 5-year lock-in period.

Interest Calculation

Interest is compounded annually but paid only at maturity. The interest earned each year is deemed to be reinvested and qualifies for 80C deduction.

Where to Buy

NSC can be purchased from any post office. There is no maximum investment limit. Minimum investment is ₹1,000 and multiples of ₹100 thereafter.
